The village chief was very hesitant, and he was not the one he could offend.

He said in extreme embarrassment: "This is not a matter of whether to support it or not. The eldest princess and the eighth princess will always leave the Shuimo City. If Caomin tells the truth, those people will definitely cause trouble for Caomin. Caomin cannot leave the village. What should Caomin do if the family of Caomin is old or young?"

Lin Yuzhu understood the village chief’s embarrassment. Indeed, after they left the village, the village chief’s family would definitely not be able to escape, and it would be easy for those people to cause trouble for the village chief.

It is precisely because of this that she wants to know the inside story more.

After all, there are countless people behind this incident.

Lin Yuzhu said seriously: "You can rest assured that as long as you tell the truth, we will protect you. As for you, you are worried that those people will cause trouble for you after we leave, you can rest assured that none of those people can escape."

Lin Yuzhu's words did not make the village chief feel at ease, but instead made the village chief even more worried.

The village chief's hesitation made Nangong Yutong understand that she had to express her opinion. She said seriously: "Are you afraid that those people will cause trouble for you, aren't you afraid that this princess will cause trouble for you?"

This sentence is also true.

The village chief's forehead was getting cold sweats more and more, and he looked at Nangong Yutong uneasy and said, "Caomin dared not hide it, but Caomin dared not say that Caomin knew that the eldest princess was a good person. Even if Caomin angered the eldest princess, at least Caomin's family would not be implicated. But if I tell the truth, Caomin's family will not be able to escape!"

He thought about things thoroughly. It was enough for him to be implicated by this matter alone. He must not suffer with his family.

Nangong Yutong smiled coldly: "What if I want to touch your family too? You are also a smart person. You should understand why I came to investigate this matter. This is the emperor's will. Do you know how many grains transported away are moldy? These grains are enough to harm countless people. If you don't say it, I will think you are an accomplice."

Of course, these words were deliberately scared by the village chief. She knew that if she didn't say this, the village chief would definitely not tell the truth.

She knew that she didn't have much time left, and Lord Zhou was guarded by her people. Some of the members who received the news outside would definitely make arrangements. It would be too late to find evidence at that time.

Since the village chief knows the inside story, of course he has to dig out the news from the village chief.

The village chief expressed his embarrassment: "Grand Princess, why bother with the help of the people?"

Lin Yuzhu frowned: "We are so sorry to ask you. Since you don't want to say it, then go to the prison to talk!"

When he heard that he was going to the prison, the village chief's legs were a little weak: "Please don't make things difficult for the people, okay?"

"Not good!" Nangong Yutong's attitude was firm.

After saying that, he shouted directly: "Come here!"

Two disguised guards walking into the room.

When the village chief saw that he was serious and was afraid, he simply took the initiative and said, "The grass-roots are willing to explain!"

Nangong Yutong waved her hand and the guard stepped back.

The village chief said everything he knew: "Last year, an official from the government came to buy grain seeds. At that time, I sold them a lot. Caomin heard that it was an area where Anyang City needed excellent grain seeds. He was always thinking about the people from the government coming this year. Caomin also deliberately kept the best grain seeds in his family."

Speaking of this, the village chief paused for a moment, then sighed: "The grass people don't know what's going on. What's waiting for is not the government purchasing grain seeds, but the merchants came to the village to buy those broken and moldy millets. Every household in the village has not had a good life. They cherish the food very much, so how could there be moldy millets?"

"Where are those moldy millets?" Nangong Yutong asked seriously.

The village chief said: "Those moldy millets were purchased from grain merchants. In the past two years, many people suffered from disasters in Yuncheng. Some millets were also purchased from Yuncheng. As for He Cai in our village, they were deliberately bribed by those people, so that someone would investigate and help them perfunctorily. He Cai got 100 cents and was still showing off in the village for a long time."

He didn't know much about this, he said everything he should say.

He said with a sad face: "The eldest princess, the eighth princess, and the grass people know everything! Please be sure to protect the grass people carefully."

He knelt down and kowtowed hard.

Lin Yuzhu said: "Get up! Since you told the truth, we must protect you carefully, but this matter is very involved. In order to protect you and your family, we will take you out of the village for the time being."

What they said just now was just a scare to the village chief. In fact, they couldn't ignore the village chief.

The village chief is grateful.

Before leaving, Nangong Yutong directly asked someone to capture He Cai.

After Lin Yuzhu and the others left, He Cai was uneasy. He always felt that the two people who came today were a bit difficult, especially their aura was different from ordinary women. The key is that they asked about Guzhong.

He answered without any loss of water, and I believe the two of them could not hear any clues.

The only thing I worry about now is that this incident did not fool the two of them.

He sat down in panic and frowned.

As a result, he was caught before sitting for a while.

When the villagers saw He Cai being arrested, they blocked the intersection. The child who had led the way rushed over, grabbed the small stones on the ground and threw them at the guards: "Let go of my father."

The village chief was very anxious when he saw this scene and stepped forward and thrust everyone: "Don't get stuck, hurry up and get out of the way."

Mrs. He Cai stood in the middle of the road and was the first to bear the brunt of the fire: "Why should we get out of the way? Why should they arrest my husband?"

Her husband did not commit any crime, so why should he be arrested?

The village chief was anxious and afraid that he would be unhappy if he provoked Lin Yuzhu and Nangong Yutong.

At that time, it will not only be He Cai, but the entire village: "He Cai family, don't mess around here. They are from the government. If you arrest your He Cai, it will naturally be because of your He Cai."

Mrs. He Cai didn't care so much, put her hands on her hips and said, "What can my husband do? Don't talk nonsense here."

Actually, I vaguely know what's going on.

Lin Yuzhu did not let Nangong Yutong come forward, but took the initiative to explain: "What happened to He Cai who committed, you can go to the yamen to wait and see the trial. If you stop us here and don't let us go, you will be implicated and arrested in prison, it will not be great."

The villagers looked at each other and started to talk, probably wondering if it was worth it and why they took the money and took risks.

Lin Yuzhu continued: "I am the eighth imperial concubine of the dynasty. I come to investigate the matter of grain seeds according to the emperor's will. If you know the inside story, you are welcome to report it to the yamen. All those who report it will be rewarded."

When Lin Yuzhu revealed her identity, the villagers began to make way out, and only Mrs. He Cai was still standing in the middle of the road.
